Taco bar hire in Old Tree, served fresh
A taco bar suits mixed diets well, as fillings and toppings are kept in separate dishes. There are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free choices, with corn tortillas for gluten-free guests, plus allergen information for every dish. On the menu are warm corn and flour tortillas, a build-your-own taco bar and slow-cooked fillings kept hot, which works well for birthday parties and office lunches.
In a small place like Old Tree, a taco bar might go in a garden, a barn or a nearby hall. If the truck can’t get close, we can set the station up nearer your guests, though we still need to unload within a short walk. Access, space and power are agreed with you beforehand, so there are no surprises on arrival.

Old Tree: venues, access and set-up
Old Tree is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Wherever your event is in the CT3 area, we can serve your guests, as long as there’s access. We cover all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater right across the region, from Old Tree to Canterbury (6 miles away).
Guests arriving without a car will want to know that Herne Bay station is about 2.9 miles away. After a christening or wedding at a church such as Church of the Holy Cross, a taco bar at a hall or garden nearby lets guests build their own tacos. The coast is within about 3 miles of Old Tree, so for a seaside taco bar we plan around the wind. A sheltered spot for the station helps, and seafront sites typically need permission.
Wherever your event is in CT3, we can bring the truck or trailer to your guests. We also serve at events in Maypole (1 mile west), Hoath (1 mile south-west), Millbank (1 mile north-west), Knave's Ash (1 mile south-west) and Hollow Street (1 mile south-east). Further out, we also cater in Canterbury (6 miles south-west), Margate (10 miles east), Dover (15 miles south), Ramsgate (10 miles east), Broadstairs (11 miles east) and Whitstable (6 miles west).
Other landmarks nearby include St Martins Hospital (5.1 miles south-west). Open spaces near Old Tree include West Blean and Thornden Woods.
- Schools near Old Tree include Spires Academy (2.1 miles south-west)
Should I do it myself?
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party serving. Booking a caterer means you can relax with everyone else.
If you do it yourself, work out quantities first: our guide to how many tacos per person helps. Keep tortillas warm in a covered basket, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
How it works
Service is quick and friendly: guests are served at the hatch or a serving station, so a crowd is looked after quickly. When service ends, we pack down. A December taco bar in Old Tree will be in the dark from about 3:50pm, so an indoor spot or a well-lit station works best. At midsummer, by contrast, daylight lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us the date, the venue, how many guests and any diets.
- We plan the fillings and toppings with you and quote for them.
- We agree where the table goes and where our vehicle can unload.
- We set out warm tortillas, hot fillings, salsas and toppings, and guests help themselves.
- After the last tacos, we clear the station away.
